HARRISBURG - The state House debated a bill on Wednesday that would prohibit insurance coverage of abortions for low-income people under health insurance exchanges that the federal health care law would establish in 2014. The House may consider the legislation for final passage next week, said Rep. Matt Baker, R-Wellsboro, chairman of the House Health and Human Services Committee.
North Carolina operates a hybrid public financing system for providing health insurance coverage for low-income children. In January 2006, children ages 0 to 5 years with family incomes between 100% and 200% federal poverty level were transferred from the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC), the state's Medicaid managed care program. These children were expected to benefit from being linked with a usual source of primary care and other program services. Beginning March 2007, children 6 to 18 years enrolled in SCHIP were also given access to the CCNC Medicaid managed care program. These children continued to receive the benefits of the traditional SCHIP program. Part I of this evaluation describes the CCNC Medicaid managed care pro...
According to the Office of Advocacy at the US Small Business Administration, the cost of health insurance has been a top concern of small businesses for many years. A provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (section 1421(a), PL 111-148, 3/23/2010) is intended to help small businesses that employ low- to moderate-income employees provide health insurance. To qualify for the credit, an employer must pay average annual wages to FTE employees of $25,000 or less. The average annual wage is calculated by dividing the total wages paid by the employer to employees used in the calculation of FTE by the number of FTE employees. As noted previously, the employer's contribution toward the cost of the health insurance must be a uniform percentage of not less than 50%. The health ...

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities CCBPP, the carnage in state budgets will worsen. The primary benefits of this policy are macroeconomicsaving jobs, preventing program cuts, and making sure that states don't worsen consumer purchasing power by regressively raising taxes in a recession. The CBPP reports that 21 states have cut low-income health insurance or reduced access to health care; 22 states and the District of Columbia are cutting medical, rehabilitative, and homecare services for low-income people who are elderly or disabled.
[Jon S. Corzine] told NJBIZ the legislation he signed last week is "a pragmatic doable step on the way to universal access." But he suggested the step to get to universal health care for all adults is a bigger leap. "We are going 15, 20 miles per hour," Corzine said. "We're not going to go to 100 miles per hour. [...] the governor remains cool to a plan brewing in the state Legislature that calls for providing subsidized health insurance to uninsured, low-income adults and requiring everyone to buy health insurance. Despite the cool support from Corzine, Vitale plans this fall to introduce his legislation - devised in conjunction with David L. Knowlton, chief executive officer of the New Jersey Healthcare Quality Institute - that calls for providing subsidized health insurance to all ...
On June 3, the Sunday Harrisburg Patriot-News ran a front-page report by Jan Murphy noting Gov. Corbett's misplaced priorities. This was the gist of the criticism: "The governor has resisted taxing Marcellus shale natural gas drillers and wants to slash business taxes by $300 million. At the same time, he proposed drastic cuts in money for schools and cut off a state-subsidized health insurance program for nearly 42,000 low-income adults." Corbett made his decisions to cover a $4 billion shortfall. I'm not sure what was wrong with the health-insurance cutback. I do know that low-income adults can avail themselves of Medicaid - and once they reach a certain age, they can tap into Medicare. More importantly, Corbett is to be commended for trying to lure industries into the state. The west...
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A study released in Washington today by the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR) looks at low-income mothers' career paths, finding child care and health insurance keep them on the job longer. Looking at thousands of working mothers over three years, higher- income moms were nearly twice as likely to stay on the same job as low-income moms. But it's clear from the data that we can do a lot to help low-income moms keep working," according to report author, sociologist Sunhwa Lee.
